Hi Scott, It's not at all unreasonable that you are lost, and trying to start with a "reference" manual to learn how to do something is using the wrong tool for the job. A reference manual is only designed to let you go lookup something, once you already know how to use it.
I recorded 30 something audio tutorial classes on scripting, which cover both how to program, and how to program with the Window-Eyes objects, and also how to program using VBScript. Each tutorial also comes with a text file of examples, which you download separately. All of these can be found at the link below on the AI squared web site, in their section for developers: https://www.gwmicro.com/App_Central/Developers/Interactive_Classes/ The classes also cover how to use many of the tools which AI has created to help you design apps (or scripts). One such tool is called Immed, and it lets you type in a single line of a script, or a small group of lines, to try them out. It's a lot easier than trying to write and load a working script, just so you can test something out. Once you listen to several of these, then come back here and ask your questions ... but I'd suggest leaving the reference manual alone for a while, until you know what you want to lookup. HTH and glad you decided to try scripting, and to drop in to this list.

I'm confused in some things such as child children and those items. Right now I'm trying to work with the example code in the reference to do with the systray. I keep getting errors, but I think it is because i'm not understanding what i'm reading. Would it help to download an actual app and load the .vbs file into notepad rather than using the examples on the site because I think i might be trying to be over analyzing it to much. I'm getting lost what to type, actual words that appear in the reference, or would i need to actually substitue what those values might be, like instead of for example\ object.name write into notepad like this firefox.whatever? Sorry, i'm lost because I do not read things like this in manuals to well. I'm more used to the user side of things. smile.
